30 October 2021 – Globe Derby Race 1 Charming Major is the long odds on favourite. It is expected to lead easily, and win. Any of his rival would be a fool to take him on, for it would ruin their own chances of winning. Michael A. Smith, the reinsman with a preacher’s name, doesn’t […]
30 October 2021 – Globe Derby Races 1, 4, and 9 The South Australians scored the hat trick on Saturday night. Three favourites beaten at 4-1 on ($1.25) or shorter, all on the same night. Crackerjack isn’t it? The first to go down was the Aaron Bain trained Kapiti Express, which only last start looked […]
While we are on the topic of the Parkes harness race meeting held last Friday, it would be remiss of us not to mention the madness in race three. I don’t know what experienced drivers Matt Rue and Mitch Turnbull thought they were doing in this race, or if there is some high degree of […]

The one in which it appeared for all the world like she deliberately steered her horse wide in the straight to allow the horse pocketed on the leader’s back through? Well the Stewards have seen […]

If, as the alleged rumour goes, Stacie Elliott was indeed on holidays at the time her horses racked up two trifectas at Newcastle last month, why has no other licensed person been charged in relation to the two tested horses who threw positive […]
The word around Tamworth town is that cobalt charged harness racing trainer Stacie Elliott’s defence to her 2 dope breach charges may be that she was out of town on holidays the night two of her runners blew over the odds reads to the auto long DQ salts at Newcastle last month. If that’s true, […]
This is the official photo finish of race 2 at Menangle last night, which under Harness Racing NSW’s at times difficult to understand field selection policies featured a field of in-form horses across a broad spectrum of classes ranging from NR66 and the way up to NR98. How the field was selected so that low […]
It must be a terrible feeling to have 9 out of the 10 starters in a NSW Breeders Challenge Final and lose it to a Queenslander. A sinking, sick sensation in your stomach indeed. Hello Sydney, remember me? Kevin Seymour AM. From Queensland. My name’s Kevin, and I’m here to help. Relieve you of your […]
